What a great week-end. Where to begin.

First up, Mico came home from Bible College and shared with the Youth on Friday night his experiences. God has done, and is doing a marvelous work in this young man. There is God annointed confidence in him. I loved how often he would quote scripture while he was speaking to the youth and would turn to his Bible to find a favourite verse to share. He’s here till the end of January before heading back for the second semester. (more…)

This past week has been amazing as the Lord has been working in so many ways……in the lives of our youth, in the lives of our adults, in the Hand Up to Hope Ministry…..the ladies’ Christmas tea! (more…)

Sunday evening, when we arrived at the bottle depot for our Hand Up To Hope dinner, we were met by several of our friends who shocked us with the news that one of our ladies, Liz, had passed away last Monday from pneumonia. (more…)

This weekend started off with prayer on Saturday morning. As always it was an amazing time of meeting with the Lord and it’s always a time of learning what God would like us to do and, off course, a time to seek the Lord on behalf of the body. (more…)

Saturday night several of us attended the fundraiser banquet for Frank & Elsie O’Brien of Islandson Ministries. They, along with Carl Erickson, will be leaving next weekend for Jamaica where they will be serving the children of Mount Grace Primary and Junior High school. (more…)

Thanks to those who quickly responded to the needs of the Hand Up to Hope ministry; it’s much appreciated! There will be 2 containers at church on Sunday…one for Bruce and Lauren and one for the street ministry. Keep the insert from last week’s bulletin on your fridge as a reminder to add some grocery items for these two ministries to your weekly list; this is an opportunity for the body of Christ to minister to one another.

It’s been a busy couple weeks finishing up holidays and being back at work this week! We’re looking forward to going into a new year of ministry and pray that the Lord would lead you to be involved in an area of ministry at Calvary. The Lord has been impressing upon me the importance of prayer and the need to build relationship within our church body. Reach out to someone this week and let them know that you are thinking of them, and praying for them…..go for coffee with someone and build relationships ourside of Sunday mornings! Plan to get involved in the various opportunities to connect with one another….Backyard BBQ, Islandson fundraiser banquet, Thursday’s Home Group, Saturday Morning prayer. (more…)

It was good to be back in church after a two week absence. Others that had been away have returned too. The Shuhindu’s are back after a few months in Kenya visiting family and friends and Jhune Arce is back too from three weeks in Australia on business and some time with family there. Thank You Lord for keeping everyone safe over the summer. (more…)

Glenda and I are continuing to enjoy our trip through the Kootenay’s. We sure live in a beautiful part of the world. This morning we are driving out to Ainsworth Hot Springs, about an hour north of Nelson. We’re staying in Nelson until Monday at the Whitehouse Backpackers Lodge, a quaint (cheap) old house that has been turned into a hostel. (more…)

Glenda and I had the day off as Pastor Bruce Lungren filled in for me at CC Richmond. We decided attend the service at CC Langley and catch up with some old friends we hadn’t seen in a while. I also wanted to catch up with Chris Bryant who’s been working hard on our new website. (more…)
